Another life lesson learned.

It's kind of like the song... The Man Who Can't Be Moved by The Script. That's how I feel constantly.

I met this boy on Tinder because I am that classy girl, and he was perfect. And when I mean perfect, I mean perfect. Let's say his name was Todd. Todd was the perfect man you could ever think of, sweet, nice, hot, and sensitive. He was Prince Charming. Before we begin, let me tell you some background info about myself. I have been in two or three serious relationships, and I thought this was the one I was looking for.

We ended up meeting and let me tell you oh man I knew he was the one, we continued to hang out and then he met my parents and they loved him...he was a total family man. What I thought wasn't going to be a thing happened, me and Todd were always together, he was always texting or calling me and we would even FaceTime each other at night and fall asleep together. It was beginning to look up for me after years of being abused mentally and physically and I was just ready for something real and something to make me happy. I thought I had found what I was looking for in Todd. Things started getting serious and I became a little suspicious about Todd's ex girlfriend, (we can call her Taylor) Todd and Taylor had dated before for 4 years and I felt this weird sense like something was wrong. Todd randomly would bring her up and constantly tell me everything was okay and that he didn't have any feelings for her and that he hated her for what she did to him. So I shrugged it off, I should not have done that. I should have listened to my gut and what it was telling me, which was telling me to get out of this relationship now and to do it fast. Of course, me being me, I didn't listen. We continued to talk and to be happy but something was wrong. On 9/28/2016 in the morning, I figured out what was wrong. Todd and I had barley talked all day- which wasn't really normal but happened at times.

I got a message around 3 in the afternoon from Taylor's roommate... telling me Taylor and Todd had been together for the whole time Todd and I had been. I was devastated. I was kind of in a state of numbness. I didn't know what to say or do. Taylor's roommate and I continued to talk and she sent me a picture that was a text conversation from Todd and Taylor... Todd proceed to tell Taylor, me and him were just friends and that we had done nothing, which was a compete lie. I knew then, this was over. I texted Todd and he didn't deny anything, but he also didn't admit to anything. He then proceeded to block my number and he blocked me on Facebook which I thought was kind of childish for a 20 year old.

I wish I had listened to what my gut was telling me because this was the second time this has happened in a row. You think I would learn the first time? I did not, but I'm certainly wishing I did right now. I think all I am trying to say or get across from this, is please please make sure the person you are talking to or plan on dating isn't going to get in the way of you being happy and if you have a gut feeling of something bad happening trust it. Do not end up in a point where you aren't happy. It sucks, take it from someone who knows what it feels like.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
